During the Three Kingdoms period, there were many talents and warriors as there were stars in the sky, of which Chen Gong was one of the best among the strategists.
Chen Gong, zi gongtai. It is said that Cao Cao failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo that year, so he had to flee overnight, so he became the object of Dong Zhuo's wanted. However, the inadvertent words of a little girl made him unfortunate to be caught by Chen Gong. However, Chen Gong was not a greedy man of fame and fortune, and after listening to Cao Cao's ambitions, he immediately decided to abandon his existing official position and follow Cao Cao to show his grand plans, and Cao Cao was also very happy to have such a good talent. Unfortunately, when Cao Cao and Chen Gong fled to Lü Bohao's home, Cao Cao mistakenly killed Lü Yimen because he was too suspicious of the disease, which made Chen Gong greatly disappointed in Cao Cao's morality, and after listening to Cao Cao's words, "I would rather bear the people of the world, and teach the people of the world to bear me", he left Cao Cao angrily.
However, Chen Gong also had Chen Gong's ambitions, and although he left Cao Cao, Cao Cao's ambitions deeply affected him. It also made him feel that what he had learned in his life could not be wasted. Therefore, he believes that his talents should be brought into play. Therefore, he chose the world's first god of war at that time, "Lü Bu". However, when Chen Gong saw Lü Bu, although he felt that this person was popular and Xuanxuan, and his eyebrows revealed a burst of heroism, he was a talentless and ignorant person. But why did he finally choose to stay with Lü Bu?
As we all know, there are so many tyrants in the world, such as Yuan Shao was the strongest party at that time, and also the most qualified person to dominate the world, many strategists and military generals were proud to be able to defect to Yuan Shao's men, why did Chen Gong not go to Yuan Shao, but Lü Bu, who was already disliked by everyone? Can he play his due value under the public account of a talentless and virtuous master?
Of course, Chen Gong did not think so, although Chen Gong knew that Lü Bu's courage was the courage of Pifu, but he felt that Lü Buwei was famous, plus the fierce generals on his hands were like clouds, such as Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, who were all first-class and first-class generals at that time, and Lü Bu collected Dong Zhuo's Western Liang soldiers and horses, and these soldiers and horses were all veterans with extremely strong combat effectiveness in perennial battles, and Lü Bu was enough to dominate the side by virtue of this. As long as he can have someone with worldly talents like Chen Gong to assist him, he will become a hegemon one day, and then it is possible to chase the deer in the world.
In addition to the above points, Chen Gong felt that Lü Bu obeyed his own plans in everything and never hesitated, which was also a very important factor for Chen Gong to stay by Lü Bu's side. It is said that Zhuge Liang did not vote for Cao Cao because there were too many talents around Cao Cao and did not have his own position. Chen Gong is actually the same, Lü Bu is the only one, he can be a national soldier under Lü Bu's account. But things often have many similarities, Zhuge Liang failed to help Liu Bei capture the Central Plains; Chen Gong also failed to help Lü Bu dominate the world.
